NEW - MONKEYSNAPS3.1 I have decided to do a major overhaul of Monkeysnaps3 and address the problems of my earlier scans, format of images and remove unsatisfactory content. The new gallery Monkeysnaps3.1 will therefore be more selective and include many more new images, eventually. The original Monkeysnaps3 will remain as a fotopic gallery for the present.

Top Photographs This Week 1  37102 and 37030 crawl past Greenholme after restarting the Clitheroe - Gunnie cement. They suffered a total power failure grinding out of Tebay and came to a stand within 50 metres, just after the signal in the distance. After a long delay, the crew managed to restart the load and the wheels were barely turning as it passed us. Just as well as you can see the shadows of the wheels on the far track, this was the last of the light. We listened to it for twenty minutes before we left. I don't think it increased much till Shap Summit was reached.

Summer 1966   1 - Steam Days   (11) 4  40079 pauses in the darkest reaches of Preston Station on a north-bound parcels. Many thanks to Philip Moville for identifying the locomotive. He also assures me the number on the bodyside was probably done by "The Tree" at Springs Branch! Pentax 6x7 Spring 1984   3 - Northern England 1979 - 1989.    (9) 5  North Blyth 1: 43063 rests at North Blyth MPD. The time is just after dawn on a June morning, and we had spent the night travelling to Lynmouth on the footplate and back in the van with the loaded coals. All thanks to driver Cyril Lamb (not sure of the name). We spent three Friday nights at Blyth at that time, turning engines by hand, and being thrown out by drunken night staff in turn, but we always got back in! We had to, as we always went over on the last ferry!! June 1966   1 - Steam Days   (8) 6  03112 runs into Derwenhaugh Yard on the Tyne Yard - Blaydon trip working.
